The second teenage boy was arrested and charged for assault with a weapon. He was held in police custody and is expected to appear before a judge in youth court Friday.

The two youth were both residents of the home to which police responded. The RNC said in its overnight report that the two were the only ones involved in the disturbance and were both known to one another.
